Hi! C.M...Oh! yes, just be grateful that you live in a region where the season(s) change and you can look forward to cooler days ahead...In the meantime, please try to stay...'"cool!"[postscript:Nice image too...Thanks, for sharing!]deedee ;-D

CG: Howdy - and it continues - and through next week I understand - as a rule this lasts for a couple of days through the summer, this year, the humidity is bad. I miss the fog and sea breeze air at times like this -

Cynthia - yes, the drought in other parts of the World is terribly sad!

I've heard about the politics there Michael (Ugh!) but I guess weather-wise you are enduring the same type of heat saturation as us city dwellers in the Northeast. It's funny how in winter people complain of the snow and hanker for the summer, only to take the opposite position when they are sweltering. It's always advisable to take advantage of those only-too-rare nice days, as it seems it's almost always of the extreme variety in these parts.
